the end of the war in iraq. he broke the back of al qaeda. we're drawing down our troops in afghan stafn. let's not forget that he killed bin laden. those are real promises in 2008. another promise in 200 is how we were going to strengthen the middle class. because the middle class suffered from this recession but they've been suffering for a long time. decades of policies that left them behind. that's the one thing that has been driving the president over the course of the last four years. you know, that's why we passed the ledbetter act so that women could be equal bread winners for their middle class families across the country. that's why we passedded health care reform to make sure that people's economic security didn't depend on their health security. we are going to be running on our ideas. we're going to be running on our path forward. we're very much looking forward to thursday night. >> woodruff: when one of your main democratic services asked is the country better off today than it was four years ago he said no. was he off message?

priests have been murdered, churches attacked, some christians moved to safety in northern iraq. others left the country. in syria, the president has long had the reputation of protecting the ancient christian communities as restless muslims radicalize, christians felt exposed. >> only the secular government can preserve the existence of christians in the middle east. after all, during the government of assad or the other government, we lived in syria with religious freedom. we have our freedom to worship and to build the churches. >> suarez: syrian christians are exceptionally vul vulnerable. >> the christians are caught between the rock and the hard place because on the one hand there's the government that was at least protecting them to some extent. that is under siege. on the other hand, the syrian christians are afraid. the radical islamist group will undermine their positions, their privileges and even their security. it is difficult for them then to support the opposition. >> suarez: christians in lebanon fare better in many ways than their counterparts in other countries.
